Description Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2006-06-08 21:09:46 UTC 
In order for gcc-config-2.0 to function correctly, it needs to merge in the eselect-compiler package.  Running crossdev force-merges the latest gcc-config w/o satisfying this dependency, which causes gcc-config to break in fantastic ways.

i.e.,

# crossdev -s1 --g 4.1.1 --b 2.16.1-r2 -t mips64-unknown-linux-gnu -v -p

[snip]

 * Forcing the latest versions of binutils-config/gcc-config ...     [ ok ]

[snip]

# gcc-config -l
!!! Error: Can't load module compiler
exiting.
